Moselem Springs Golf Club has earned its place among America’s hidden gems

Moselem Springs Golf Club in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania has earned its place among America’s hidden gems of golf courses. Nestled in the lush, rolling hills of Berks County, it is celebrated as a stunning “golfing enclave of great natural beauty and a course of unusual charm and excellence,” according to its founder, Hawley Quier.

Widely regarded as one of Pennsylvania’s most challenging, scenic, and historically significant courses, Moselem Springs has hosted the 1968 United States Women’s Open Championship, the Pennsylvania Open in 1996 and 2011, and is home to the prestigious annual Hawley Quier Memorial.

“Once you step onto the golf course, other than crossing a road a couple of times, you’re not going to know there’s anything else around here,“ said Tim O’Neil, golf course superintendent. Stretching 6,808 yards with a par of 70 from the championship tees, the course features six different sets of tees, making it accessible and enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels, including juniors and beginners. “It’s just a great place to be, a place people enjoy spending time.”
